PDF and DXF Macro Checkbox

Marcos Nieto Feb 2, 2015 1:06 PM

Hello all,

I was looking all over the forums to see if I could find a subject that is close to my issue that I am coming across, but it doesn't seem like I found one (or maybe I'm not looking hard enough). Here's my issue:

I am trying to create a Macro that will save a drawing as a PDF or DXF, the only difference is I'm trying to implement a checkbox so that the user has the option of whether to save the drawing as a PDF/DXF/or both. Something along the lines the image seen below:

I was wondering if it could be possible to go this route.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Marcos,
All the source you need is here...
SolidAPI: One Button PDFs in SolidWorks

Developing a UI with options would be to create your form and launch it before running the SaveAs method. Query your form for the value of the checkboxes to determine what extension to set. I might suggest radio buttons instead of checkboxes if you'd like the user to choose only one.

Hope that gets you moving in the right direction.

Mike
